Two days later the subdued chaos that was Medlab 1 was once again shattered by a loud peircing sound. This time it was the shrill scream of one Nurse Sophie Henderson.
She had been checking the stats on the various machines that surrounded the handsome Ranger in the small private room at the rear of the facility, when she felt something tug at her pant leg.
When she turned to see what she had snagged the back of her leg on, she found herself being observed by two very alive green eyes.
She really didnt mean to do it, but she got such a surprise she let out such a squeal that others came running.
Marcus was very sorry for scaring the young woman, but he was pretty freaked himself. Then the small room seemed to be overflowing with people; a few looked familiar most didn't. but all of them seemed to want to prod and poke at him and take readings.
Bloody hell, what am I a bloody medical project. What is going on?
He tried to speak, basically to tell them all to go to hell, but his mouth was so dry and rough nothing emerged.
"EVERYONE OUT NOW," yelled a very familiar voice. Although he would admit that it was the first time he had heard it at that volume. No it definetely hadnt been that loud even when he really pissed her off.
As suddenly as they appeared, everyone except the female nurse standing by Lillian Hobbs left.
"Two minites Cole. Two minites youve been awake and already your creating havoc in my Medlab," Hobbs laughed moving toward the prostrate man. "Would you like a drop of water?" she asked as she poured a small amount into a glass.

Amelia grinned at the glare he tried to throw at the machines, before nodding to Hobbs. All the old staff knew about his total hatred of the monitors.
How many times has he pulled off his IVs and various tracers connected to those Bloody bleeping buggers as he had christened them in a fit of temper.
She took pity on him and keyed in the commands that would silence the bleeping.
Marcus finished his second sip of water, then tried to speack again.
"Th…ank…you," he finally managed with a tiny grin. But it was enough to bring a sparkle to both womans eyes.
"Welcome home Marcus", amelia whispered overcome by this emotional moment.
"H…o..me?"
"Your on B5 Marcus and you are getting better,"Hobbs assured him. There was so much to tell, but they needed to be careful about how they told it, and who did the telling.
2su..san?" he forced out, fear evident in his eyes.
"Captain Ivanova is doing just fine,"Hobbs stated wondering about the strength of this mans devotion to the one he loved.
His first thought is of her welfare, after all hes been through. Ivanova you better appreciate him or I will kick your ass.
A smile fluttered on his lips as his eyes closed again.
"Cap..tain.
